Chippanee Full Service Golf Shop

Welcome to our fully stocked golf shop.  Whether you need to stock up on supplies before your round or rebuild your inventory afterwards, we have what you are looking for.  If your wedges aren't giving you the spin you need to stop on the greens, it might be time to replace those old worn out grooves.  Perhaps the weather isn’t what you planned for and you need a shirt, hat or rain jacket…  we have them, and our prices for apparel are unbeatable.  Please stop in to see our PGA Director of Golf, Gary Sassu, Our Head Golf Professional, Nick Calabrese
and our assistant Golf Professional, Brandon Banks.  They'll have what you need and they might even have that tip you need to bring your game to the next level.
